I think about 50k.40k would do us nicely though.

I honestly don't think we could get those crowds regularly, I think if we had that capacity today we may get 33-34k for next season, the first in the prem, but if we stay in the prem several years, and the novelty wears off, and we are battling to stay in the league as Wigan, villa and such other teams have, I think we'd see a regular following of about 30k at the most, and that being said to much expansion would be a mistake atmosphere wise

The footprint is in place ( with retrospective planning permission ) for "around 58,000". It is hard to put an exact figure in it so it could be + or - 1,000.

This is one of the reasons why the outside is somewhat disapointing as basically its only half built.

Once Tan has complete control of the entire city, who knows what it could be!?!

Has been discussed several times! We would not get planning permission for 50k due to access points around stadium, 37k is nearer the mark.

Surely could sort out access points if it come to that? Money talks if tan ever wanted to do it surely cardiff council wouldn't mind sorting it out

When Sam Hammam had the planning consent it was for a stadium which could be expanded up to 57,000.

So really 57,000 must be possible? I heard some of the outlets around Ccfc would restrict access? Surely this could be overcome tho if it ever came to that..

Nope it's an Arup flat pack design.

It doesn't work, causes more problems to the structure and they wholly fucked up the major problem with the stadium. Transport. When I looked at it, during Sam's days, i said no, can't be done, 35,000 people with no or little transport infrastructure, your pissing in the wind.

I was right, its my f*cking job so of course I was correct.

Vote labour and egg cashing, it's the way forward for the left and CCMB with the fools.
